Asn deamidation was monitored in Ala-based octadecapeptides of varying alpha-helicity. Gly was substituted for Ala residues at positions 6 and 16 to create a peptide with less helicity. Ala --> Gly substitutions were made at three or more residues from the Asn to negate known primary sequence effects on deamidation rates. The extent of helicity and rate of Asn deamidation for alkaline aqueous solutions of each peptide was measured as a function of temperature by circular dichroism and reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography, respectively. The rate of deamidation in the peptides was inversely proportional to the extent of alpha-helicity. The results support the conclusion that Asn deamidation only occurs in the nonhelical population of conformers.

Rapid identification of asparagine (Asn) deamidation and isoaspartate (Asp) in proteins remains a challenging analytical task during the development of biological therapeutics. For this study, 46 therapeutically relevant peptides corresponding to 13 peptide families (13 unmodified peptides and 33 modified peptides) were obtained; modified peptides included Asn deamidation and isoAsp. The peptide families were characterized by three methods: reversed-phase ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (RP-UHPLC-MS); flow injection analysis high-resolution ion mobility-mass spectrometry (FIA-HRIM-MS); and shortened gradient RP-UHPLC-HRIM-MS.

Article Synopsis
- * The paper introduces a new method using endoglycosidase-assisted peptide mapping combined with mass spectrometry to analyze these non-canonical glycosylation sites, specifically in monoclonal antibodies (mAbs).
- * A case study is presented where this workflow successfully identified a unique glycosite in a mAb, enhancing the efficiency of peptide analysis and enabling better understanding of glycosylation patterns important for therapeutic development.

Studies surrounding deamidation have relied on the chromatographic and mass spectrometric differentiation of Asn containing peptides and their isomeric Asp and isoAsp products. The development of mass spectrometry analytical techniques and characterization of isomer specific fragmentation patterns has permitted the investigation of some deamidation species but has struggled to remain effective when applied and on complex samples or in high throughput scenarios. On the other hand, chromatographic separations can provide additional information to facilitate detection of deamidation.

Deamidation frequently is invoked as an important driver of crystallin aggregation and cataract formation. Here, we characterized the structural and biophysical consequences of cumulative Asn to Asp changes in γD-crystallin. Using NMR spectroscopy, we demonstrate that N- or C-terminal domain-confined or fully Asn to Asp changed γD-crystallin exhibits essentially the same H-N HSQC spectrum as the wild-type protein, implying that the overall structure is retained.
